Apple has announced that it will hold a conference call tomorrow morning to discuss the company’s plans for its approximately $100 billion in cash reserves. The announcement will occur at 6AM Pacific / 9 AM Eastern time, and the discussions will be led by Apple CEO Tim Cook and Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer. Apple specifically notes that the call will be focused on Apple’s decision, not on the current quarter or topics besides the company’s cash reserves.

Apple says that the press can dial in at (877) 616-0063 (toll-free) or (719) 219-0041. They must enter confirmation code 592016. However, anyone can listen in via Apple’s QuickTime streaming website. Apple’s cash reserves have been a long topic of discussion as Apple has continuniously said that it is pleased with its reserves, but is not ready to announce what they plan to do with the money. An Apple dividend has been long expected, but other than that, not much has been rumored.

We’ll be covering the call live tomorrow morning. Apple’s full press release is after the break.
